You've finally caught up from the sleep deprivation of the baby phase, and you're getting the hang of this whole parenting thing. Except for one thing: After the flurry of first smiles, first steps, and first time using the Apple TV remote, you realize that your little baby might not be so little anymore. Here are the signs.

1. Actually naps at a predictable time, which means you can finally "nap when the baby naps"-except, what's that? He just gave up his nap.

2. "Look, Mama, I wiped!"

3. Can turn off the tears at the mere rustle of a lollipop wrapper.

4. Climbs out of crib without falling, grabs a board book and a stuffed animal, and goes back to bed.
